Dysart board approves final 2025–26 budget revision, reallocates $1.5M to capital
Summary
The Dysart Unified District governing board approved its final 2025–26 revised expenditure budget after a public hearing, citing a slight drop in ADM that reduced M&O funding by about $500,000 and a reallocation of roughly $1.5 million in state aid to capital projects. Board motion carried; no roll‑call tally was recorded.
The Dysart Unified District governing board on May 11 voted to approve the district’s final revised expenditure budget for fiscal year 2025–26.
Francie Wolf Baumann, the district’s director of finance, told the board the revision responds to a small decline in average daily membership (ADM), driven primarily by high‑school counts, and noted, “This resulted in about a $500,000 decrease, in to the maintenance and operations budget.” She said the district plans to reallocate about $1,500,000 of state aid from maintenance and operations into capital to support planned facilities work and cited a combined funded ADM decrease from 33,161 in the adopted budget to 33,057 in the revision.
Wolf Baumann also outlined capital‑fund changes, saying supplemental state funds increased the capital budget by about $2,200,000 and that federal and state grant adjustments—approximately $1,500,000—will support school safety officers. She described a modest classroom site fund change of about $84,000 and said there were no changes to the food service budget limit at this time.
After the presentation the board moved and approved the budget revision. President Escobarra made the motion and a board member seconded; the motion carried but no roll‑call tally was read into the record.
What happens next: district staff indicated the revised budget and supporting documents will be posted on the Dysart Unified District website and submitted to the Arizona Department of Education as required. The budget revision was presented as the required May public hearing prior to the May 15 statutory deadline for district budget revisions.
